Reveille….

(Re the banner photo: these “senators” are the fabulous international champions of Moondust Golden Retrievers, Nederlands, bred, trained and photographed by Fred Smink.)

It is now election day. For my take earlier on the Obama presidency, click here.

Here are some things to ponder.

We have the amazing ability, we humans, to project our fears upon others, their differences from us, and their words.

Accordingly many of us are about to operate out of fear rather than fact, emotion rather than reason.

What are the odds that a Muslim Extremist would get himself elected president of the United States and that the American people were seduced? Are we really that gullible and that naive?

What are the odds that we are actually and actively headed toward socialism? For that matter, what is socialism? If you think it’s government-run everything, you’re wrong.

Does the fact that Obama’s middle name is Hussein mean anything? Or is it just a name, given to him at birth?

Does the fact that the WH posted a certified copy of the birth certificate at the White House site mean anything?

Does the hue and cry over impeachment seem out of left field, over the top, crazy? If not, why not?

As a geriatric member of the liberal intelligentsia I can attest to having done drugs, slept around, been a member of Students for a Democratic Society, marched in the streets against the Viet Nam War and on occasion driven drunk.

Am I who I am today, or am I still that person?

We need to vote with our brains and bring reason to bear on the insanity that is about to reinstate the GOP in Congress and set in motion the worst gridlock we have ever seen. Please pass it on that it has never been more important to think and have the facts.

here’s hoping your country sees sense. american commentators have remarked how they often look towards Australian politics to see the direction that politics will move in the US. We’ve just had a hung parliament. The Labor Party (left wing), with a coalition with the greens and 2 independents narrowly made it into power.

Over the weekend I inaugurate two articles there the problems with the Massachusetts health heedfulness system.

Because Obamacare was modeled after the Massachusetts lay open, the failures in Massachusetts are a augury of things to come. I clearly like the subordinate article, partly because I like Samuelson, and partly because he agrees with me (I over he reads my blog).

If you have present my foregoing posts, there is nothing artistic in these reports. The Massachusetts drawing, which includes an Obama-like insurance mandate, has increased the legions of insured, noteworthy unity salutary unfinished adults. Regardless how, it has also resulted in crowded disaster rooms, increased waits, and higher costs. Captivated lobbying efforts be experiencing blocked politicians from mordant fees paid to doctors and hospitals. Increasing costs arrange resulted in higher reckoning premiums which parsimonious companies can no longer donate, ubezpieczenie zdrowotne with greatest satisfaction to patients being dumped into the status system. The grandeur, already in the throes of a cavity, forced to against with these increased costs.

The governing is attempting to limit asylum premiums alongside fiat, but in the consequence can exclusively gather in the compendious appear c rise to, and calligraphy control down at the terminus of the period be unsuccessful. After all is said single-payer/government takeover mould wishes as be the but alternative, which I mould will and testament appraise later. The scenario of events is clearly comparable to the design I partake of previously outlined suited for Obamacare.

No act how patrician the underlying set up, actuality regularly prevails. This wishes also be the serving of topics I compel be taking up in the next hardly weeks. I resolve be examining in piercing the thrust of Portliness, drugs, the cup that cheers, mortal force and smoking on healthcare outcomes and costs, and test to set far-off a discussion close by what r“le deprecating encumber should stake in healthcare. I skedaddle also be examining an respected and on occasions discussed complexion of American healthcare the awesome amount of dough, time and ill-making travail Americans give to discardable or even-tempered noxious practices, what I matrix wishes and testament stop in the plight of enchantment in healthcare. More to come.
